Hello listers -
Just wondering if anyone have experience on dealing/implementing with
Streams+Flashback combination.
Here is my situation..
-- 30+ tables changes are to be captured in source db (say db_source) and to
be replicated to diff database (say db_target)
-- db version: 11.2.0.2 (both database) running on Solaris
this is a testing environment & there is a pre-req to run some process from
application to setup some mandatory data into database before the start of
each test. (no access to application code and the option of getting it done
from db-scripts is not feasible)
I know flashback would work great , but I am not sure about the same on an
env with streams configured.
Here is my idea
(-- assume all db configurations are in place to store flashback logs and
database is enabled with Flash-logging )
t1) stop capture process at source db, run the application to set up data
(needed before every test)
t2) create a restore point
t3) start capture
t4) run the test
now if I need to do a different test, I am hoping to get back to t2
(flashback database + db bounce).
Am I missing/overlooking anything to consider? The target database (where
apply is running) is not critical to be in-sync with source or to maintain
data integrity. (if needed, I can stop apply process and truncate tables on
target..)
Any clues/pointers would be much appreciated,
Thanks in advance,
Venkat
PS: Only a handful tables ( less than 50 tables ) are being replicated. So I
am also open to run flashback table (instead of flashback database).
